CA Technologies Delivers a Clear Path for Mainframe Customers to Embrace the Future of the Dynamic Data Center

MUMBAI, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Strategy Will Enable Customers to Take Advantage of the Dynamic Data Center Across
Mainframe, Distributed and Cloud

    CA WORLD - CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced a strategic direction to help
mainframe customers embrace the future dynamic data center and move closer to the ideal
state of unbounded business enablement at zero cost.

    The company has made significant new investments in mainframe solutions to provide
customers with the tools to manage data centers with utmost reliability, security and
speed.

    "Information technology is in the midst of a tremendous change cycle," said Michael
Madden, General Manager, Mainframe, CA Technologies. "We have responded with a strategy
that serves the evolving requirements of the data center, including cost-effectiveness,
data security and speed and a fantastic end-to-end customer experience."

    Once bound by on-premise facilities, data centers today are a dynamic mix of
on-premise and virtual computing power. CA Technologies is substantially evolving its
mainframe management solutions to make such dynamic data centers possible and aligned to
meet business needs.

    The CA Technologies Mainframe strategy will help customers by:

    . Sustaining investments in foundational technologies that are critical to the
evolution of data centers and the modern mainframe;

    . Collaborating closely with customers on product design to help CA Technologies
develop products that meet customers' most critical IT needs; and

    . Streamlining for savings and return on investment through the company's Mainframe
Software Rationalization Program (MSRP), which assesses customers' portfolio needs and can
help them to realize estimated savings of up to $1.4 million* a year.

    CA Technologies is making great strides in delivering a mainframe portfolio that helps
customers transition to the dynamic data center-one that delivers business services
seamlessly across mainframe, distributed systems and the cloud.

    . Extensive Mainframe Portfolio [http://www.ca.com/us/mainframe.aspx ]: includes
integrated products designed to cut the total cost of ownership for customers, and deliver
lower licensing costs, simple installation processes and easy upgrades.

    . CA Mainframe Chorus [http://www.ca.com/us/products/detail/CA-Mainframe-Chorus.aspx
]: focuses on a unique user experience rather than on applications for a robust mainframe
management platform that lets users create dashboards to manage DB2, workload automation
and other functions all from one place.

    . CA Workload Automation
[http://www.ca.com/us/products/detail/CA-7-Workload-Automation.aspx ]: integrates the user
experience across the hybrid computing environment of mainframe, distributed and cloud.
The solution includes several new capabilities that help customers reduce complexity and
proactively manage and anticipate the needs of the dynamic data center.

    . CA Technologies World-Class Support [http://www.ca.com/us/Support.aspx ]: the
company recently earned the NorthFace ScoreBoard AwardSM
[http://www.omegascoreboard.com/news/news-releases/omega-honors-30-companies-for-delivering-world-class ]
(NFSB) for customer service excellence, demonstrating its dedicated focus
on customers. CA Communities [https://communities.ca.com ], CA Technologies online user
community, provides customers with direct access to its more than 38,000 company experts,
partners and users.

    The mainframe is a workhorse in the backend of much of today's critical business, and
CA is busy enabling other capabilities in its portfolio to work with mainframe solutions,
to provide a seamless and successful customer experience across distributed, cloud and
mobile operations.

    "Our unique advantage is that we can manage virtual data centers from soup to nuts,"
said Madden. "We can tie everything together and manage it holistically when we bring the
full CA Technologies portfolio to bear."
